Paul Haynes and Brian Rock on the first day of camp

By Paul Haynes

Head Coach

We just finished our first practice of camp. I thought it was a good day.

I liked our
tempo and I thought we saw a lot of good things for the first day. There
were still a lot kinks that we'll get ironed out. But we came out here
with a lot of energy. That's what we
look for as coaches. Our guys were excited to get back out here and
they will continue to get better every day.

These first
couple of days are all about putting in the system. We'll put in our
concepts and continue to talk to them about the type of tempo we want.

After these first three or four days we will start to get into situations.

I'll be back
on here regularly to update our work in camp. We'll also have some of
our coaches and players on to write, so check back regularly.

Offensive Coordinator

We had a lot of guys who were obviously very excited to be out here on the first day of practice.

It wasn't a
well-oiled machine by any means. We still have a lot of work to do, but
we have a lot of building clocks to build from. That's the part that has
me very excited.

I saw a lot
of the older, veteran guys who understand how we practice and the tempo
we expect for practice go and reach out to the younger guys to explain
what that's all about. That's always
encouraging.

It's day one,
and on day one everyone is always excited. They are tired of talking
and doing all of those kinds of things. It was fun to be out here and be
together again.
